names for your TI

[gooten1]

I need a name for my car. It's a 1997 318ti Active. Schwarz II (black) with the factory 10 spoke rims. Light grey leather intereor, 5 speed manual tranny, Sony cd player. Black carpets on the floor. She needs a name. If I get some entries, I'll post a list of finalists, and we can vote on them.

[Sirius600]

Considered a classic like Fox Box or Shaggen Wagon?

[bmw318tiChic]

I'm not good at thinking up original names, but I named mine "Rachel Jr" because my name is Rachel, and she is my baby.

[gooten1]

Thom Jr? .... eh. What part of florida?

[robcarync]

you can call it something like....BEAMY

haha i cant think of anything...but my sister named her car "NEEASY" (Nissan Altima)
and my mom named her car "CAMMY" (Toyota Camry)...thought id continue!

[gooten1]

Black Magic? (Corny, yes I know...)
Or like that classic rock song...Black Betty (ooh, black betty, ram-a-lam...)

[bmw318tiChic]

Thom Jr? .... eh. What part of florida?

me? northeastern. jacksonville to be specific.

[swits]

I named my car Cowgirl since I bought her down in Texas. =)

Here are a few suggestions that I came up with:

Luna (moon in spanish. black got me thinking of night, etc.)
black widow
ebony
onyx

I'll reply again if I think of more =)

[GDB]

i was just lookin at ti chics pic and her eyes are hot :o . Dont you guys think so?>

Epimp :_pelvic: . lol, jk.

IMO, you can't just name a car, it is something that is has to earn through some right of passage. My friends Mustang was Judas, since the brakes went out in it (betraying him) and he hit a Suburban. My Storm was the Duck because a friend of mine stuck a bunch of kazoos up my tailpipe and it sounded like a duck when i started it. Only car I've ever had that just got a name was my 280ZX, it was named Zee, actually I called the voice Zee and it was only appropriate that the car have the same name as it's voice.

[DaNO]

Do you , eh, do you? And what do you call it?

[gooten1]

Black Betty (ram a lam) :D

[bmw318tiChic]

Yes, her name is Rachel Jr.

[durnadupa]

Yeah I name mine, her name is... Tonka for her first name, and her last name is Hitlerietta.
I mean she is German after all so Hilter, Hitlerietta, you see where I am going with this one?
So in conclusion my little butted baby's name is Tonka Hitlerietta.

[aceyx]

i scream anything that sounds german, e.g.
"what's your car called?"
"oh, i call it the OBFENDUBERNOCHTENSCHTIK."

scares the crap out of people.

[DaNO]

Thats good to know, now i must find a name for mine. I called my last car steve, now the search is on......

[swits]

i scream anything that sounds german, e.g.
"what's your car called?"
"oh, i call it the OBFENDUBERNOCHTENSCHTIK."

scares the crap out of people.

Hahahaha! That's awesome!

My car is the Cowgirl cause I bought her in Texas and drove her home through the desert. :pistols:

[1996 328ti]

Yeah I name mine, her name is... Tonka for her first name, and her last name is Hitlerietta.
I mean she is German after all so Hilter, Hitlerietta, you see where I am going with this one?
So in conclusion my little butted baby's name is Tonka Hitlerietta.
Poor taste.
I haven't named my ti.

[Panzer_M]

Mini3

[schussey]

my stoner friend named my car "Toodles," after the character in the movie Hook. (due to how sluggish my car is)

after I put some cosmetic mods on, the name was altered to "Toodles Badtastity"

-chris

[bmw///m3///]

Yeah I name mine, her name is... Tonka for her first name, and her last name is Hitlerietta.
I mean she is German after all so Hilter, Hitlerietta, you see where I am going with this one?
So in conclusion my little butted baby's name is Tonka Hitlerietta.

:anger: your really gonna hear it from jewish members...........

[gadgetphreak]

I have to agree, I doesn't appear that any specific attack on anyone was meant, but it is a rather careless choice.

I mean she is German after all so Hilter, Hitlerietta...

Germany is known for many great things (Beer, BMW, Beer, Brautwurst, Beer, etc.) and to insinuate that being German is immediately related to a single fanatical individual is pretty narrow-minded and may be offensive to some...

Just my point of view, take it or leave it... :caffine:

[robcarync]

agreed...

anyway....my car has no name!

who wants to name it!? let me know!

[durnadupa]

Okok, I apologize if anyone took offense from my comment. I mean I wasn't making an attack on anyone, and the amusing part is my Jewish friends find the name to be hilarious. But again I am sorry, I didn't mean anything by it...
But I am still not changing her name, she's too used to it.

[1996 328ti]

Okok, I apologize if anyone took offense from my comment. I mean I wasn't making an attack on anyone, and the amusing part is my Jewish friends find the name to be hilarious. But again I am sorry, I didn't mean anything by it...

I know you weren't attacking anyone. ;)

[Panzer_M]

Hitler was Austrian.

[gadgetphreak]

No prob dude, as I said initially, it didn't come across as attacking anyone on purpose.

Cool that you apologized anyway, those that may have been offended can see that you meant no harm.

[robcarync]

so ... the important part...who wants to name my car! maybe ill give them a PRIZE!

[aceyx]

your car should be named based on its character of use, or a funny story associated with it. it's kind of difficult to do unless we know you.

for example, my handle on the cb radio is RC, because when i have the 4' fiberglass whip antenna raised, it really does look like a remote control car.

i had a friend with another german make that couldn't negotiate snow for crap and he kept crashing it, so we called it the hindenberg.

there was another kid that had a jeep with faux wood paneling on the sides, so he called it his woody.

he also owns a motorcycle called <kids name's> little sister, so he can say "i'm going to go ride your sister for a bit, try and wear down the rubber."

[robcarync]

ahh but my personality is goofy and random...which is why i need somene else to think of it! then when someone asks me what the name is i can be like "oh its _____ because ___ who i dont know told me so on the internet"

[Panzer_M]

Kugelblitz....Ball Lighting in German.

[robcarync]

wow Kugelblitz...that sounds interesting...i may name it that....

anyone else have any ideas!

[Panzer_M]

Hetzer: Baiter

Kobold: German Imp known for mischief

My friend's e30 325 is called "NachtJager" literial Night Hunter or more conventional would be Night Fighter, as it is used by the Luftwaffe, WWII and Present.

[bmw///m3///]

ju-88

[robcarync]

i cant decide on kugelblitz or kobold...hmm!!!!

[durnadupa]

How about you call it "Kleiner Kolben"
Which translated into english means "small butt," it is true you know...

[maurolin]

**** basket.

[AzzKickr]

me and a friend of mine who drives an E36 convertible made up names to give a title to our photoshoot; Black Angel vs. Dark Demon. Mine being the Dark Demon.

[robcarync]

im liking kobold now!

my car is named kobold!

[Tiger323ti]

his name is tiger.

his is the adjektiv for a man?? or not?

[natebracing]

I call mine "Mai Tai". (you know... My ti)

[gooten1]

What was the name of the guy who actually designed the ti in the first place?

[Henry80]

My baby's name is Angelina. Nost consistant lover I've ever had ;)

[Henry80]

most*

[hubrisin]

Last year when I bought my TI, my sisters fell in love with it, they dubbed my TI, "BB" or more affectionatly "Baby Beemer". That's left me curious if anyone else names their TI, or has had it named.
-M

[myblueTI]

[Panzer_M]

[bmw318tiChic]

[swits]

Cowgirl - Bought her on-line from Texas and drove her home through the desert.

I think there's an old thread about this, btw :)

[AutoM3otives]

When I first got my red E30 M3, I named her "Lady In Red" following that oh-so-lovely 80's love song.

I wanted a black Ti so I could call it [B]lack [M]agic [W]oman based on Santana's song, but alas I have a blue Ti. No name at the moment.

[tEso]

i call my car the" titi " its an egyptian name anyways.. ! ;}

[1996 328ti]

Cowgirl - Bought her on-line from Texas and drove her home through the desert.

I think there's an old thread about this, btw :)That reminded me. This is the third name your car thread. Previous threads have been combined and it will now be a sticky.

[stormos]

no idea on names....

BUT..... i'd say ti chick is hot!

maybe you should name the car after her? ;)

[gooten1]

She has an official name now...Black Betty. I was tossing a few others around, but that one always came back. She can be a bit of a bitch sometimes, but she's still sexy (and black).

[Panzer_M]

The Club Sport is un-officially "Red".
She likes it.

[lkwd318ti]

My car's name is Allison.
Haha. My friend was like "you don't have a name for your car."
So she named it after herself :tongue: .
Not complaining though...my car's named after one of my hot friends :biggrin: .

-Randy

[myblueTI]

Now you have to post a pic of her

[Donovan]

My car's name is Divine.

She's uber sexy...and she bites.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (Makes lion growling sound)

[gooten1]

Randy, post pics of the friend. ;)

And that was a mighty fine "lion growling sound" there Donovan.

[lkwd318ti]

Randy, post pics of the friend. ;)

And that was a mighty fine "lion growling sound" there Donovan.

-Randy

[Woofy318i]

call her. FLUGZEUGFLUEGELAUSSENBELEUCHTUNGSLAMPENHALTERUNG



bimmi baby

I call my car Black Metal, because it's black, and I listen to black metal music

[Morea318]

My 1st compact was "Black Beauty" since she was black and I am not American and my initials are BB.
BB was stolen in Italy after less than 2 years. Therefore no more BBs for me. Sniff.

My present ti is "The Mermaid" due to her colour.
My compromise.
>Less is more. <
>The best things in life are simple. <
(- as in genuine)

She's got lots of extraS but is kept 'plain'=undistinguishable on the outside - since I had to drive her in Italy as well.

eh, c'est la vie.

[LN318TI]

mine is still without a name. But I proabably should just call it Cop Magnet and be done with it lol.

[Morea318]

:cool:
how boring, no name, for such a ... car.
Besides, they are ti ladies or whatever you wanna call them, so cheer up
"Testosterona Rossa (TR)" or "La Rouge"
or "Sognio Rosso (SR)" for a red one
" Bestia Nera/Bella Nera" > black or
"L'Heure Blue" or "Mia Nuvola Rossa/Nera/Azzurra"
(ital. " My red/black/blue cloud")

c'mon, get strategic and funky (also in beating the ce-oo-p-es)... :biggrin:

[LN318TI]

a couple ideas:

Salsa
Red Dragon
Red Devil
Burnout
Really Red
The radar record holder lol
Red Rover, Red Rover, let all the bimmers come over lol :biggrin:

[LN318TI]

I got the perfect name for anyone who has a black TI that needs a name. Anyone ?

[LN318TI]

alright everyone I need to chose between two names.

- Hannah2 - this is after my best friend, which is of course my golden retriver who loves
to ride shot gun with me lol.
- Mischief - I don't know why but this car just looks like its always looking for trouble
esp. from the front

[ridgerunner]

Dark Star

[denko]

my 4 yr old neice calls my car "black tootsie". she name her parents' cars tootsie and big tootsie (truck).

[sparkchaser]

I named mine Brigita. I wanted a German-ish sounding name and something unique.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y187/sparkchaser1998/carnamed.jpg

[evalha007]

Someone suggested Reis Jaeger...!! LOLOL that is funny...


My suggestion is: Robocop

[Gunnails]

Daughter named the 318 "Schwarz" (German for black I think, like her 318)

[baron]

You could always stick with the standby german name Gunnar, it was the name of my firends german shepard.

[angel318ti]

I have a story too. I had a 325i e30. it was black also. One night I was showing off and punched the gas sending the car into a violent spin, long story made short I ended up on some train tracks that busted up my suspension on the passenger side and cracked my oil pan. From that night she was "Night Train". Your name has to have a meaning othewise it doesn't mean anything.

[NOBOGYZ]

Hello all, first time I have posted. It looks like a "Black ti Affair" to me.

[Etienne]

My car is known to me as "My Baby"


Same... or any sort of (usually) affectionate female terminology. I figure if I spend this much time with (in?) something it better be female...I talk to the car a lot... like "sorry sweetie" when driving on Philadelphia's horendous streets, or good-girl when we do something fun/great/etc. That sort of thing... I am not a very big "namer" though. For instance I had a parrot for 3 years and only called it things like "pretty bird" while talking to it. Even my girlfriend has a million nickname/terms of endearment etc... hardly ever call her by her real name.

[andyman7931]

I am not a very big "namer" though. For instance I had a parrot for 3 years and only called it things like "pretty bird" while talking to it.

let see... I had a rabbit called bunny, a dog called pup, a cat called kitty... can you see my creativity? my car is called the ti. :biggrin:

[Mothman]

I named my baby "Fanny" since i am a Butt man and my baby has no back! :tongue: California DMV denied my request for a lic plate that read "FANNY" :mad: Oh well! my baby has been good to me, and at 190k she is still plugg'n away!

Mothman

[stormos]

I call mine "Costly" :)

[SillyRichard]

I call mine "Kira"

Mothman

Thats wierd that they denied you. Ive seen a cali plate that said "drunk" on it.

[Mothman]

Yea, I don't know, I also tried to get one that read: BABJ They replied saying that it may be offensive. Baby J Oh Well!

Outie,

[s_max]

I don't know I named my last car Johnny 5 it fits that car well

[jetblackbimmer]

Mine is named Angelous. On the 10 freeway on the way home she just flew at 140 with complete control. So I named her Angelous.

[angel318ti]

My Ti is "Bruised" because the colors are black blue and purple and I named my M3 "Contender".

[TiTime]

What about the simple & obvious, yet comical:

"Tha Schwarz"

:biggrin:

"And I see your Schwarz is as big as mine. Now let's see how well you, handle it."

Gotta love Spaceballs.

Just my 2 cents anyway. Think it's an appropriate name for your car. Mine is "Ti Time."

[Watchmyradical]

My car is boston green. So i call it the "hundred dollar bill". my mom loves to refer to it as the money pit though

[jetblackbimmer]

I like money pit. Reminds me of when I had to go to the body shop. :P

[Kraln]

I call mine Ärger, (or aerger with a normal character set). It pretty much got it's name from all the BS I'm being put through to get it on the road.

[3DGE]

Well since I am a gamer i guess MY cars name is 3DGE, i better go get my plates changed to that.

[cooljess76]

"Tizz-eye"

Daaaaaaang! I thought I was the only one. I call mine the "MFN Tizz-eye" which is by far the best name so far!

[morrphix]

my black 98 TI recieved the name Ava. Always liked the name, figured the car should have name as it tends to treat me better if I give it an identity haha. Will admit *knock on wood* no problems with the car since she got her name.

[NismoPick]

Daaaaaaang! I thought I was the only one. I call mine the "MFN Tizz-eye" which is by far the best name so far!

Nice! It just sounds right.... Cruisin' the tizz-eye. Now I just need a 540fizz-eye. :biggrin:

[doubleray]

Prizm :help: I don't know. and yeah, I drove a Geo Prizm. so sue me, I intherited it. it got me around from point a to point b. :tongue:

or just find yourself a name that has a good meaning to it, you'll know the right name when you find it.

[cooljess76]

I'll stick with "MFN Tizz Eye" since I haven't even had a girl in my car yet, but hey it's only been a month. No, I forgot about Lacey, whoops I need to call her back, lol.

[TheFlyingScotsman]

Black Betty (ram a lam) :D

HEHE, BLACK BEAUTY? :wink:

Min is the Gardian Angel. It white and keeps me safe!

[Bender]

Funny how cars that don't matter never get names... I never had names for the LS400's the jags the diamante, the Accords, the Pathfinders... they were just 'the car'. And I always have had a nice truck. I live in my truck hundreds of hours a week and personalize them and keep them nice but still, they are just 'the truck'. But the cars that matter.....

My Z is Green Death Machine from a comment by someone the first day I drove it home with no brakes and lights and shredded upholstery. It stuck as it went to track warrior and class winner event after event and even now as a mad street car. Friends refer to it as "GDM".

My Porsche 944 race car is Black Like Me. Those of you with a modicum of college literature will realize: no, I am not black. Friends refer to it as "BLM".

My last Z race car was 749 which was a karmic fluke as it was assigned to me at one of my first rookie races and I liked the number relationships (squared) and was short for 7.49 which I will let you figure out. Friends still call it "749".

The Datsun 1200 race car has a name I forget... marie or thelma or maggie or something I forget and is named after some woman who died at the track and there is a decal of her number on the rear window and in a long letter from the PO he made me agree not to remove the number in honor of her but all the plexiglas is getting replaced and so I need to replicate the sticker or re-nig on that agreement. We've just been calling it 'Sunny'--which confuses most umericans. I think it may have stuck.

The ti? I'm thinking Sex Dwarf.

[96cali]

Officially my '99 is "Bianca" but when my wife is in the car it's the Milf Wagen. :_pelvic2: :_pelvic2: :_pelvic2:

[RallyJet2006]

but i also have seen that someone has scratched `misse´ on the inside of one of my trimpanels in the boot!

so i know its a girl anyway :lol:

[rachelpsualumna]

I call mine "Mini B", because it is the smalled BMW in the U.S. to date.... until the 1 series arrives (or unless you count mini coopers)....

And my parents used to have a 4 door 3 series and it was just called "Dr. B"... I guess we really liked Austin Power's at the time!

[brodee]

Stubby the Wonder Slug. I told my wife I wanted to get a personal tag that said "STUBBY". She didn't think that was a good idea :biggrin:

[thekid.]

i knew its name before i even bought it,
at the dealership and the salesman started to read
off the vin to my insuracne guy, wfkx124...SAM blah blah blah
i just zoned out and thought to myself, "sam".
dont know if its a girl though. the wife might get zealous.

[Vhauj]

I named mine Fox for its red color and agility, but it might not stick since i plan on painting it black.. i was thinking maybe wolf after that... :)

[nyle]

sophia. sexy and european. i just looked up its meaning: "wisdom" in greek. goes well with the wise german engineering thing. :biggrin:

[teetime4one]

[thesk8nmidget]

i like beamy but i dont know. help me its forest green and has a really nice stereo in it that bumps. maybe correlate that into it?

[Mini M3]

I named mine's NURNBERG...after the ring in germany! People who know what that is will understand... since the 'M' was born there...thats what i heard.

[greenie]

My wife calls our ti "greenie" (its Boston Green), so I thought I'd use that for my name on this forum, too.

[Tuc]

Hm, I have newly purchased 318TI in black that is also nameless. For me I'd probably pick some crappy 80's metal album title, but for yours:

Southern Comfort
(no, gross)

Old 97
(after the band Old 97's)
(nah)

Glock
(Named after the german gun)

Rhamstein
(Named after the German metal band)
I like that one. Wow, let me know if you use that or I may.

[thesk8nmidget]

i renamed my car the cookie monster

I rock a '95 318ti, I love this beautiful gal. She IS a little old compared to my friends' cars, and I named her Samantha Jones, she's a little old, but young and sexy at heart! Like Sam Jones from Sex and the City...try not to give me too much trouble, my chic loves that show. My pops always called me Jimmy Jones growing up, which is another reason why she is Samantha Jones...

In general, I like a good German name for a BMW though. Depends on the character of the car...

[Flametail]

My buddy enjoys referring my car as "Das Hopps Burna" lol.

[Envious]

I've started calling mine Johnny 5. A few weeks before I started my tranny swap we bought the old Short Circuit movie for our kids. I was walking up to the garage when it was all jacked up and it was my car started screaming NO DISASSEMBLE. You have to see the movie to get that.

[bmwpelican]

[Maverix]

I named mine Chrono. Because, I have Ulcerative Colitis, and UC is a disease which is very closely related to Chron's disease. The extra "o" stands for oxygen, because my ti has gotten me out of many troubling situation's, as if I disappeared like oxygen.

For some reason, ulcato doesn't appeal to me =\

I'm just going to quote this in case someday this guy realizes how stupid this sounds and tries to delete it:wink:

[tiFreak]

If I ever needed a brain replacement, I would want Jess's. 'Cause I'd want a brain that has never been used before.

oh wait, never mind...

This threads only been going for 4 years, it'd be a shame to get it closed because of some juvenile punks crapping all over it.

Me = Stating the new name of my car
You = Starting crap right after.

Thus, you crapping all over the thread.

[cooljess76]

Seriously, you named your car after a disease that you don't have? And you added an "O" to the end of it to represent oxygen because your car has gotten you out of many troubling situations and made you disappear like oxygen? Am I the only one here who finds this completely retarded?

This reminds me of the other thread where you said you wished BMW would make an option where the SRS system would fool people into thinking it was off when in fact it was actually on. That's a whole other story and has no relevance to this thread, but it's just as stupid to say the least.

I do have Ulcerative Colitis. Only difference between Chrons and Ulcerative Colitis, is that UC attacks the big intestine, while chrons attacks your small intestines. If I don't get my colon removed within the next 5 years, I will die of colon cancer. Seriously, do you ever come to 318ti.org for besides making a yourself complete ass to people?

Wanna talk stupid? At least I don't have to add the word "cool" in my user name to give me a sense of security.

[VROOMCP]

my co-workers call my alaska blue ti "Violet" from Willy Wonka

http://66.116.220.10/images/violet%20color%20400.jpg

[gambit]

Obsidian...gotta love that

[trickiekid]

At work they call it the million dollar bimmer, just because I always have one of the quirks to fix. At him its either the other wife or the girlfriend.

[318ticruiser]

optimus prime..:shakefis:

[librider09]

my brother named my ti "no ass"

[pknlotpmp318]

An old girlfriend of mine and i named my car "foggy", in reference to the windows. haha :wink:

[roadblkx]

any ideas for a name for my car (its alaskanblue in color - sort of a deep, lighter blue)?

names I'm considering:
stubby
stubs
kurz (german for stubby)

[tiFreak]

I like Kurz :)

[hotmilk400]

i normally swear at it. so i think the name i gave it is something along the lines of B**** .. haha.. but my car is junk compared to most Ti's

[rcrobbins]

I named mine Ms. Rosenrot. Even though it's hellrot color, it sounds like a proper name for a German car. Plus it has its theme song Rosenrot from Rammstein. It was the song I was listening to when I came across the car for sale, ironic, so I consider it a coincidence that was meant to be! Before every event I run, I listen to that song to kind of connect me with the car on a personification level. Man + machine + musical conduit= driving enlightenment. I suggest everyone acquire a song for their car, it's a unique connection. Sonne would be another good name, also by Rammstein, they make great songs for German cars. Was sie will bekommt sie auch! "whatever she wants she gets!", perfectly put.
PS: If you have a "crappy" BMW, you could name it Mein Teil, straight translated as "my part", but in Germany it's "My piece"...so it can be "your piece"...of...:smile:

[PittsburghSteelers318ti]

How about I call my car "Steely McBeam"?
No, that would be too rude to the fine car that the 318ti is.
I consider the McBeam mascot one of the worst ideas I've ever heard of or seen. Any Steeler related name ideas?

[Mopho]

De AssSister.
That's my name for my disaster, only made it 10 + miles before wacking it into a overpass in the rain.

[Mete001]

My friends and i call my compact "The BB", which abbreviates to;

-Bavarian Bullet (most commonly used)
-Beautiful Beemer
-Baby Beemer

you could sieriously go on and on with names for the BMW compacts, and it's quite fun with what you can come up with.

Personally, I like bavarian bullet the best :D

[minicoop900]

mines become named the clown car because i usually give my friends rides and four 6' + guys getting out of my car looks pretty funny

[Jovela]

Haven't been with my car long enough or customized it enough to give her a proper name but if I had another dog, Id most definitely name him AC Schnitzer.....just so I can yell out "schnitzer" in public with a heavy German accent.

"oh von shnitzer, vwould you like a schnitzel? good boy!!!":biggrin:

[stealingtime]

My old Beetle I used to call Zip Martin. For my 318ti, Catcher Block.

Because all old german cars have the interesting oil smell to the interrior, I named mine Stinky! Seems like a degrading thing, but in my circles its just funny.

[collink]

I'd choose a German name for her:

- Laila
- Madalina
- Odala
- Oddetta

Just do some googling and get creative!
